New and Exciting Additional Content for X-Morph: Defense

by Pawel Lekki, Chief Operating Officer, Exor Studios Posted on

Hello, Xbox fans! After the positive reception of our game, X-Morph: Defense, which released in the Summer of 2017, we decided to give the players more content to enjoy. We’re super happy to tell you that we just released two huge updates for the game. The first is our very official expansion to X-Morph: Defense, a DLC campaign entitled European Assault. While the main game has taken players on a tour all over the world, this story-driven mini-campaign focuses solely on the old continent. Three demanding missions allow you to conquer Finland, Netherlands, and France. The Europeans will not be trifled with, however, and adapt their weapons to have a better chance of fending the...

Hardcore Neon Slasher Phantom Trigger Available Now on Xbox One with Mixer Integration

by Alex Nichiporchik, CEO, tinyBuild Posted on

This game is a special one for us. We first worked with the developers, Bread Team, when we published a silly game together about slicing sheep in half. That game was whimsical and mathematic and surprising, and we enjoyed teaming up with Bread Team so much that we went straight to concepting the next game. It was a massive exploratory project. Over three different prototypes, a marriage, a second child, and a war breaking out in the region they lived, Bread Team created Phantom Trigger. Victor Solodilov undertook learning to code in C# while moving his family to East Ukraine, while Denis Novikov experimented with creating pixel art while relocating to Saint Petersburg. Our team at... Read more: Hardcore Neon Slasher Phantom Trigger Available Now on Xbox One with Mixer Integration

Iconic Sci-fi Tank Shooter Battlezone Gold Edition is Coming to Xbox One in May

by Sinan Kubba, Marketing Team, Rebellion Posted on

Battlezone Gold Edition is coming to Xbox One next month, rebooting the iconic 1980s sci-fi tank shooter for a new generation and a brand-new platform. It’s almost 10 years to the day that a Battlezone game last launched on Xbox, the Xbox 360, in fact. That is far, far too long apart for two of the most iconic names in gaming, so we’re delighted to finally be reuniting Battlezone and Xbox. And really, bringing it to Xbox was an absolute no-brainer for us. When we decided to reboot Battlezone, we thought about how to make it true to the original. The 1980 arcade game is a classic, iconic thing. We spent our childhoods staring into the cabinet’s visor and teleporting into a world of...

Introducing Ruinous Manor as the New Max-Level Dungeon for TERA on Xbox One

by Scott James Magner, En Masse, Writing Team Posted on

It’s more than just a creaky old ruin filled with monsters and loot -- it’s the ultimate fulfillment of a quest line that starts early in your adventuring career, and possibly one of the best stories we’ve ever told.  This may seem like a bold statement for a game that just released but bear with me for a minute while I dive deep into some TERA lore surrounding the new max-level dungeon: Ruinous Manor. At level 25, players are introduced to the “Insanity Epidemic” plotline, which kicks off a series of story quests and dungeon play that takes you to level 65 and beyond. It not only involves some of the most influential NPCs in the game, but also the gods themselves, and the... Read more: Introducing Ruinous Manor as the New Max-Level Dungeon for TERA on Xbox One

Thank You For a Legendary Halo World Championship Season

by Frank O’Connor, Franchise Creative Director at 343 Industries Posted on

Halo esports comes from humble beginnings. Back in 2001 for Halo: Combat Evolved, we used to lug around heavy CRT TVs and system link original Xbox consoles to compete at a friend’s house – the only prize being the title of best among your friends. Fast forward through the next couple of years – the origin story of our friends at MLG, national championships creating esports royalty out of players such as OGRE2, Walshy, Pistola -- and now, more than 10 games later – and we’ve reached the conclusion of the third Halo World Championship. This past weekend was special in many ways. The Halo World Championship was created from our desire to give the competitive Halo community a...
